A great collaboration between great visionaries

Tim Armstrong is the songwriter behind the infamous punk band Rancid — and behind each of those songs stands Armstrong’s songwriting partner: his trusty ’60s Fender Acoustic. Armstrong worked with Fender to design a modern version of his time-tested partner — giving it a strong, rich voice. It also features a few touches of flair to match up with Armstrong’s signature style, like pearl acrylic Hellcat fret inlays as well as two skulls adorning its twelfth fret, black-painted headstock, and a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard.

All-mahogany body, for superb acoustic tone

The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat 12-string acoustic guitar features a solid mahogany top and mahogany back and sides, giving it a rich and warm voice that is further enriched by its concert-sized body style with Fender’s advanced scalloped bracing. The instrument also features a maple neck, a walnut fingerboard, and vintage-style open-gear tuners.
